Per the report, Viktor's lawyer Christopher Robinson had contacted Anthony Tiffith at Top Dawg Entertainment and claimed Viktor's piece "Constellations," which features a woman sitting in front of a gold and black background, was the influence for scenes within "All The Stars."

The resemblance is, admittedly, striking. The specific images start at the 2:58 mark in the music video.

"Artist Says Kendrick Lamar Video for ‘Black Panther’ Song Stole Her Work" by ROBIN POGREBIN via NYT Lina Iris Viktor alleges that the music video for “All the Stars” from the soundtrack to the Marvel film used her “Constellations” series of paintings without permission.http… pic.twitter.com/9JS3g2MDnP

According to The New York Times, the letter also states that Viktor had been contacted in the past by Marvel and Disney, who inquired about a collaboration with Viktor, but that the artist declined to work with the studios.

Viktor is now reportedly asking for an apology and a licensing fee.

Though Black Panther won't hit theaters until Friday, February 16, many are already excited about the film for portraying its Black cast as heroic figures. In an interview with The New York Times, Viktor took particular issue with this alleged hypocrisy.

"Why would they do this? It's an ethical issue, because what the whole film purports is that it’s about Black empowerment, African excellence — that’s the whole concept of the story," Viktor told The New York Times. "And at the same time they’re stealing from African artists."

Prior to the New York Times piece, fans on Twitter pointed out the similarities between the video and Viktor's artwork.

"So upon second watch of All the stars the Kendrick Lamar and SZA video I noticed a lot of things in particular work reminding me of Lina Iris Viktor," wrote one fan on Twitter on February 9, two days before the New York Times piece was published.

Now, some fans believe Viktor deserves an apology from all those involved.

"I am not so sure I want to see Black Panther now.Exploiting women who look like me even after they decline to work with @MarvelStudios is an imperialist ish I can’t get behind," tweeted one fan. "I might or not see it but Lina Iris Viktor deserves a check and public apology. Cc @kendricklamar."

"Nah this is more than a coincidence and they literally asked her on two separate occasions which she denied both Marvel & Disney, this is wrong and Lina Iris Viktor deserves an immediate apology for starters," added another.

"Lina Iris Viktor's art theft in the "All The Stars" music video makes me so disappointed. Like, I honestly wanna return the Black Panther CD I bought and it kinda ruined the shit for me."

On Sunday, Lamar tweeted about how much he loved working on Black Panther, a film which he produced the soundtrack for.

"Black Panther. Respect to all the artist/producers that allowed me to execute a sound for the soundtrack. The concept of producing and composing a project other than my own has always been ideal. I appreciate the experience love ones. Continue to be great."
